La méchanique où il est traité des machines simples & composées; de la descente des corps pesans dans l'air, d'où l'on infere la manière de jetter les bombes ...
Jacques Ozanam's 1720 mechanics treatise, published in Paris by Claude Jombert, is a technical teaching text on simple and compound machines and the fall of heavy bodies, aimed at students of mechanics. Its engraved plates show pulleys, levers, pendulums, springs and inclined planes drawn in precise, labelled line work, offering a designer clean diagrammatic structures, dense hatching and geometric arrangements of hanging weights.
